ok I'll bite

what's a "zap?"

What is your take on Monero?

Ava is a man lol

Nice!! Exactly. You've gotta fully make it irrecoverable. Breaking or microwaving only prevents standard means of recovery. Forensics can still retrieve artifacts.

Appears to be using Coinbase to accept the donations

lol wow

Yes, for very sentitive situations/activities where anonymity is of the utmost importance.

Qubes is freaking awesome, but I still recommend a 2nd brand new device that has never been associated with your actual identity in any way, including having never logged in from your home network.

This is way overkill for most threat models. For the overwhelming majority of people, Qubes offers more than enough security via isolation and compartmentalization, including the ability to virtually airgap VMs, anti-evil maid, and anonymity via its Whonix integration and so much more--it's leaps and bounds over any other daily driver OS.

However, if you are performing extremely sensitive activities or are in extremely sensitive situations and you must use technology, and the likelihood of hardware forensics is in your threat model, then I recommend taking the isolation and compartmentalization to another level by using a completely separate device with an OS like Tails.

There is still the risk of having that 2nd device in your posession, so this is where an OS like Tails shines since it leaves no trace on the computer when shut down.

Also, the second laptop should be new and NEVER associated with your identity in any way WHATSOEVER.

Maybe it would be good to discuss how people give global financial power to a man without an identity! And call that decentrelize...

They don’t care if I take their word for it or not, and they don’t care if you do either or anyone else we don’t have any control and believe it or not there are laws and things they follow when they prosecute things like this if there’s enough money in it for them or a lesson to be learned, they’re gonna do it. my original point was they could’ve done better and if they had tried harder not to thumb their nose or be so cocky or market there Black and grace transaction services would’ve been way easier to back them up

Then what does this mean why would they break out black and gray transactions on a separate line? Why wouldn’t it just say all transactions are X. it appears they were able to set their own fee structure.. There’s another line there that’s blurred it wasn’t magic it was humans. The second picture is where they explain on Twitter they are non-Ky

Yeah, you did and you’re very first post. You told me to read the tornado thing.

They created decks to give to people who wanted to know what they did and what their services were. There’s actual illustrations of it in the indictment dude I’m not arguing with you because I’m realizing now you don’t have a clue what you’re talking about. You’re talking about the Netherlands and the US and these are two different countries with two different laws. Go research some other cases and then come back and tell me that this is a one off that everybody’s out to get them and they didn’t do anything.
